Seasons later, Log-a-Log journeyed with Matthias to save young beasts from the slave trade of Slagar the Cruel. He saved Matthias and his companions from a landslide caused by Slagar that was intended to cause them to die of suffocation. He and his shrews traveled with them to hunt down Slagar. When they reached the Kingdom of Malkariss he was mortally wounded in the battle that ensued. He wanted to be carried up into the sunlight for his last moments, but when the shrews came upon Mattimeo and his companions, they helped to rescue them. Log-a-Log died peacefully smiling because he had fulfilled his quest to help save Matthias' son.
